You can even discover hidden sections you might not otherwise get to see on the immersive digital tour of the Castle.
Laser scan data capture was used to create the model, as part of the Rae project which aims to accurately digitally document over 300 heritage sites and collections in the Scottish organisation's care.
Speaking about the new model, an HES spokesperson said: "These digital innovations are crucial in helping to understand, conserve and tell the stories of our historic sites."

The model follows a similar one made for the unique Caerlaverock Castle, which sits proudly in Dumfries and was the chief seat of the Maxwells, one of the great noble families in southern Scotland.
